On August 29, 2016, 58-year-old Mina Gooldy, of Prescott, was arrested for the third time in three months for dealing heroin.

She remains in-custody on a $20,000 bond.
Recently, detectives developed information involving heroin sales by Gooldy from her home. Detectives obtained a search warrant for the home and as a result, seized nearly 10 grams of heroin along with a usable quantity of methamphetamine and heroin related drug paraphernalia. Detectives also recovered a handgun next to papers documenting recent drug transactions. During the investigation, Gooldy was directly connected to the illicit sales and arrested. Gooldy also admitted to ongoing personal use of heroin.
In June of this year, detectives stopped Gooldy while she was driving and located more than 70 grams of heroin, 30 grams of meth, morphine pills and a loaded handgun. Gooldy was booked on several drug related charges including the Possession/Transportation/Sales of Drugs and Narcotics. She was eventually released on a $25,000 bond. The vehicle was seized pending forfeiture proceedings.
Early this month, on August 18, detectives were called to assist Prescott Valley Police officers in a traffic stop with Gooldy who was driving a different car . About 26 grams of heroin were found in her possession. Gooldy was again arrested for Transportation and Possession of a Narcotic Drug. She was booked at the Camp Verde Detention Center and later released on $20,000 bond.
